We hada blast! I traveled with my sons, ages 15 and13. They met some new friends, and truly enjoyed the ship! We took a snorkeling excursion in Nassau, and it was the best! We had never done anything like this before, and we all were so impressed. The ocean is as beautiful as pictures and the ocean life was amazing!!! The crew memebers on the ship were always very helpful, and it was an enlightening experience to meet so many people from so many different countries. Our steward Putu was very personable, and always took care of our room while we were out, and anything else we needed. Love the towel creatures on our bed each night.

I would highly recommend a trip like this families with older kids. The water slides on the boat were great, the shows in the lounge at night were Broadway level. Food was fabulous! I can't say enough about the wonderful time we had.

It was would have cost just as much is not more to pay for gas, hotels, food, not to mention the driving time. This was in our price range, and everything was included and done for us! The ship was clean, and the retro style was so cool! Even my kids thought the 80's theme through the boat was very cool. Great 5 or 6 days vacation for the family. We can't wait to go back!!!

FYI....save shopping for the Nassau markets. They have more to offer than Freeport. However the Bahamian people are kind, spiritual, and very interesting. The straw markets are great! Nice dresses and jewelry.
